“I congratulate the new board members of the Law Review and look forward to working with them in the year ahead,” said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. “The Law Review is a distinguished publication and I know that the incoming board will maintain that tradition.”

“I am honored to be chosen as the new editor-in-chief and I am looking forward to furthering the legacy of the Wayne Law Review with my colleagues,” said McCarthy. “We are excited about new developments we will be undertaking in the next year. Steven Helton, our technology editor, will be developing a brand new interactive website. Kaitlyn Cramer, our symposium editor, will present a timely and important discussion on national trends in urban policy. Amy Fredrickson, our executive articles editor, will be working with Metro Detroit attorneys and judges to broaden our local base so our law review publications continue to reach a wide-ranging audience. The rest of our incredibly dedicated staff will be continuing our work creating four prestigious publications a year as well as producing numerous publication-quality student notes.”

The incoming board will officially begin its tenure on May 21, 2012, the first Monday following Wayne Law Commencement.

The Wayne Law Review is one of Wayne Law’s two student-published scholarly journals. The Law Review is published four times each year and contains articles, book reviews, transcripts, notes and comments by prominent academics, practitioners and students on timely legal topics. Issues include articles of general academic and professional interest authored by law professors and practicing attorneys, as well as comments written by student members. One issue each year highlights a topic of interest discussed at the Law Review’s annual symposium. Another issue features an annual survey of developments in Michigan law and is widely read by members of the Michigan legal community.

Students are invited to join the Wayne Law Review on the basis of high academic standing and a writing competition held each summer. Junior and senior members produce the publication under the direction of a senior administrative board. A faculty adviser oversees the general operation.
